MAN SE has broadened its union negotiations to include non-production jobs as it seeks to slim operations amid what the company has warned will be the second straight year of declining orders for trucks.
MAN started union talks last year over three key plants in Germany and Austria and has reduced hours for nearly 6,000 factory workers. Negotiations now include white-collar workers, particularly at the Munich headquarters, said Juergen Dorn, who leads the MAN workers council and sits on the supervisory board for the truckmaker and its parent Volkswagen AG.
